I hope you're having a great week. I have recovered from a decadently wonderful trip to Las Vegas. Here is all you need to keep up with the sports conversation at work, on a date or at the game.

Mavtastic Week
It's been a VERY good week for Mavericks fans. Dallas re-signed Dirk Nowitzki who took a substantial pay cut to remain in Dallas. Sure, Nowitzki is still getting $25 million over the three years but he reportedly had interest from the Rockets and Lakers but didn't even enter negotiations with either team.

How can you not love him? Although, I can imagine employers across Dallas/Fort Worth saying "Dirk took a pay cut" when employees ask for a raise.

The Mavs also signed forward Chandler Parsons on Tuesday. He was reportedly upset with the way the Rockets handled but I am curious how he'll handle the end of his bromance with Jeremy Lin. See a complete compilation of the bromance here.

The Mavericks are also reportedly planning to sign forward Rashard Lewis.
